The amount of force required to elongate the plastic by a defined amount. The higher the value, the stronger the material. Or the maximum stress sustained by a material before failure in tension. When the maximum stress occurs at the yield point, it is called tensile strength at yield. When maximum stress at break: tensile strength at break.

Breaking strength of a material when subjected to a tensile (stretching) force. Usually measured by placing a standard test piece in the jaws of a tensile machine, gradually separating the jaws, and measuring the stretching force necessary to break the test piece.
